If you live in the town of Burke South Dakota, thank God

If you live in the town of Burke South Dakota, thank God
Oh I know to many residents here this will sound odd.
But we don't realize the privilege and advantages here.
For instance we don't have to always live in fear.
 
In many big cities crime, fear and frustration is always there
Here are crime rate is very low and we can live without a care
Our police force is small because that's all we need
Yes I thank God daily I live here Yes, of yes I do indeed
 
We take for granted that our homes and cars are safe and secure
Sometimes, I admit, I even forget to lock my door
The traffic here is friendly, We even have a special Burke wave
I plan on enjoying living here until I'm placed in a Burke grave
 
The businesses in Burke a truly incredible and very friendly too 
They really care for the folks here and we appreciate them, I know I do
And you can depend on them to be always fair, honest and true
To all of you not living in our beautiful Burke, I truly feel sorry for you
